Are South Africa a durable No. 1?
Mar 19, 2013: Their predecessors in the position had short reigns but Graeme Smith's team might just be the real deal
Sep 27, 2011: Cricket's governing body has long been a fiefdom board presidents use to serve their countries' interests. It's time it became a modern policy-making institution instead
Jun 21, 2011: Many premature reports of its death later, the five-day game still stands, a byword for excellence in an era that encourages, and even worships, mass mediocrity
Where's the next Katich coming from?
Jun 18, 2011: CA needs to focus on developing proper cricketers, but it seems too much in thrall to the needs of Twenty20 to care
It's an Irish question and a global one
Apr 29, 2011: Ireland deserve to participate in the 2015 World Cup. That the ICC executive board wishes to freeze them out reflects a new phase in the game's global evolution
Who administers the administrators?
Jan 31, 2011: Players are expected to follow a code of conduct. But is there one such for those who govern the game? Self-regulation is no longer a solution to corruption in cricket
Cricket Australia, look at yourself
Jan 18, 2011: Australians used to pride themselves on having the best cricket governance. Not anymore, now that the board seems bent on casting itself as a marketing organisation that dabbles in the game on the side
Nov 2, 2010: Form or intuition - what does one go by when picking a team to back for the Ashes? Both Australia and England seem vulnerable this time round
Sep 29, 2010: The tendency to blame external elements for every problem - as seen in Ijaz Butt's recent utterances - can only be countered by making governance more transparent and being serious about conflicts of interest
Aug 31, 2010: It's no wonder there's match-fixing in the modern game, with its environment of easy money and pervasive maladministration
Cricket's fig leaf of democracy
Jul 4, 2010: To be legit, democracy needs to meet certain preconditions. In cricket, legitimacy is something the boards have been happy to overlook, as shown by the Howard affair
Jul 1, 2010: John Howard has been knocked back - and knocked back without even an opportunity to address the rejectionists
Jun 23, 2010: Those railing against the former Australian PM are not shining examples of rectitude themselves
Whatever happened to governance?
May 31, 2010: Why isn't it a scandal that the BCCI spends just 8% of its revenue on actual cricket promotion? And are the other boards any better?
May 11, 2010: The Stewart Regan email shows that cricket suffers from administrators frustrated with and contemptuous of the game they have been entrusted with
May 6, 2010: Thinking of cricket purely as a brand will only impede the clean-up the BCCI needs to undertake in the wake of the IPL mess
Apr 27, 2010: The IPL has always been a candidate for Enron-sized corruption. Modi operated with impunity, and Indian cricket laid itself open to becoming a vehicle for tax minimisation and money laundering
Mar 16, 2010: The IPL has become an occasion for tub-thumping, mutual back-slapping and all-consuming PR
Mar 15, 2010: The five-day game has been rendered dull by wall-to-wall tours and context-less competition. A little scandal occasionally wouldn't go amiss
Club or country? Same difference
Feb 15, 2010: Far from marking the end of nationalism, the IPL is the ultimate triumph of that principle: a global tournament in which the same nation always wins

'We've got a good bowling attack for English conditions'
Mohammad Hafeez's resurgence, after three years in the international wilderness, symbolises that of his team
Anderson's magic not to be missed
Mark Nicholas: None of England's other 300-wickets bowlers could have bowled better than Anderson at Lord's
Anti-corruption efforts need to be proactive
Ian Chappell: Rather than relying on the police or media to uncover rot in the game, cricket has to get tough with its own
Even at the height of his success with the national side, Sreesanth was a lonely cricketer who felt hard done by. By Ajay Shankar
Leadership looks a distant dream for Warner
Michael Jeh: Picking a fight with journalists of considerable repute, isn't going to help Warner in the long run

A talent that didn't know its own worth

Unfortunate Sunrisers let match slip away
For 36 overs, Sunrisers painstakingly built a position of strength only for one terrible over to spoil it for them
